Ki Manipulation Techniques

"Ki Manipulation Techniques" (気功技; kikō-waza) are attacks that utilize the secret energy that lies hidden within one's body (ki). By utilizing this materialized energy converted from energy inside one's body, one can produce formidable special attacks. Ki is said to be possessed by everyone, although it is seen that not many are able to control it at will. Martial artists in the world of Dragon Ball frequently use many ki manipulated techniques with different names and forms. However, ordinary people have a low degree of familiarity with ki manipulation techniques, and Mister Satan interpreted the ki manipulation techniques that Son Goku used as being mere tricks.

Variations of Ki Manipulation Techniques

The use of ki is not simply used for the purpose of attacking, but can take various shapes based on the person using it. It can be used as a method of movement or to support various attack techniques. Just like the attack-based techniques, these methods of use are also rich with variation.
